quote:

take it all away from him because he was forced to be held back is absolutely horrible


he was given that year of eligibility as a hardship on the front end, correct?

and he played soccer but not football that year, correct?

those two reasons are why many on the EC voted against his appeal.

This rule is a good rule that needs to be enforced. If you are too old you are too old, it should not matter where yo are from.

Yeah. This thing seems very cut and dry. The Lhssa never grants 5 years to anyone. And they shouldn't need to compromise. I've had many players over the years who moved to the country with nothing and didn't know the language. They each were placed a grade below where they should have been age wise and most were ineligible their senior year. This happens to help them catch up academically although there are better ways to do so. I recently had 2 guys graduate with 3.4 and 3.7 gpas respectively. Both ineligible their senior years but have taken a focus on the importance of education to their future as well as their families. Why does anyone have to have 5 years of varsity eligibility. Sounds like the school and those around this young man in question are failing him? Does it not?
